Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ignited fierce backlash by equating alleged voting challenges among Black voters to physical disabilities, arguing for mandatory race-based remedies in voting maps akin to ADA-mandated wheelchair ramps.

Her controversial oral arguments were made in the consolidated cases (Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais) that concluded Oct. 15, with no decision issued as of now. Justices appeared open to curbing Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), potentially limiting race's role in redistricting and reshaping Southern House seats toward GOP gains.
